I don't see a better way of handling the OpenSSH announcement. More details or 
a patch would have allowed people to start writing exploits, at least they 
warned users of an upcoming bug and provided a work around. The OpenSSH team 
had to communicate with many vendors and eventually the details would have 
leaked. While debian may have released patched ssh packages right away, how 
many thousands of users of other vendors out there wouldn't have had a patch?
The apache announcement was just a mess though...
